The Argyle Community Fund, a component of The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, has given back nearly $162,000 to the local nonprofit organizations since its founding in 2000. This particular grant will go to support organizations throughout Argyle impacted by the pandemic, and that are meeting local needs resulting out of COVID-19.
